Default Mounting gauges in dash, anyone done it?

Hi, i want to relocate the extra gauges in the car, their in an a pillar post at the mo, but with the Corbeau seats sitting low in the car, the pod is right in the way, can't see round abouts!
I'm toying with the idea of mounting them in the dash or something, what have you done?
I don't like the idea of the heater dial position, want that left alone.

Thanks, Mit

I have the same gauges as you!
Is that one of those 3 way angled plates? I wondered if they would fit, i notice you've trimed the edge off one, i take it they wouldn't fit otherwise?

yeah its one of those angle plates with 3 x 52mm gauge wholes, it is a standard radio./head unit size , but there's not enough room round the edges so i had to trim a bit of the surround (not the gauge) so the gauge could fit under the trim/surround piece

, Ive got boost , oil pressure, and oil temp , do you find your ones are accurate , just mine seems to hold 18psi on the boost gauge , it should be 1.1bar , not sure if it the gauge over reading or car, cheers
